Han Guoyu criticized Lai Qingde and Zhuo Rongtai without writing during the National Day! The lawyer was shocked: Drunk?

Quick Look

  • Legislative President Han Kuo-yu delivered an unscripted speech at the National Day Convention, criticizing President Lai Ching-te for being a political mystique and Executive President Toh Wing-tai for not signing the bill, and citing Chen Shui-bian's views on compromise and progress in political conflicts.
  • Lawyer Lin Zhiqun questioned whether he was drunk and pointed out that the democratic rift between the Supervisory Yuan and the Constitutional Court was paralyzed by Blue and White.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Han Guoyu is the current Legislative Yuan, Lai Qingde is the current President, and Zhuo Rongtai is the Executive Yuan. Recently, there have been disputes between the Legislative Yuan and the Executive Yuan over budget and legal review, and the issue of recall has also become a social focus.

Legislative Yuan Han Kuo-yu presided over the National Day Convention today (10th) in a completely unscripted speech. He criticized President Lai Ching-te on the left and criticized Executive Director Zhuo Rongtai on the right. He also said that he agreed with former President Chen Shui-bian that "politics will involve conflict, compromise and progress." In response, lawyer Lin Zhiqun asked: "Is he drunk?"

In his speech at the National Day Convention today, Han Kuo-yu criticized last year's general recall of all opposition party legislators. This year's crisis has occurred again. The executive president did not countersign the law passed by the highest public opinion body of the Republic of China. Teachers who teach the Constitution don’t know how to teach the Constitution until it becomes a negative teaching material for the presidential administration. Han Guoyu also criticized Lai Qingde for having "political mysophobia" and cherishing his feathers and reputation. Taiwan's democracy must not be regarded by the world as a fake democracy or a true dictatorship.

He also said that he agreed with Chen Shui-bian's words, "Politics will inevitably involve conflict, conflict, compromise and progress." Now that conflicts arise, we need to calm down, have time, and have the will to compromise and resolve them.

"Is he drunk?" Lin Zhiqun asked in a Facebook post. He said that the paralysis of the Supervisory Yuan and the Constitutional Court by Blue and White is the crack in democracy. Recall is a constitutional right, what does it have to do with political hunting? Is the Kuomintang’s removal of 3Q and Lin Changzuo a political hunt?

He also pointed out that a bunch of unconstitutional behaviors in blue and white are negative teaching materials about the constitution. The legal bill is not a blue-and-white cash machine. The Legislative Yuan cannot increase the budget. It is an iron law of the Constitution. Do not hit people and shout for help. Now the Legislative Yuan is dictatorial and unconstitutional. There is no room for compromise on issues of right and wrong. Finally, he also asked, if Han Guoyu feels that the executive power is dictatorial, why not overthrow the cabinet and let public opinion make the judgement?

☆Excessive drinking is harmful to health. Drunk driving is prohibited☆

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

Open Questions

  • Will the Executive Yuan issue a formal explanation for not countersigning the bill?
  • Will Lin Zhiqun's comments cause legal or ethical controversy?

Lai Ching's Germany Day speech "City on a Hill" was derived from the Bible and was quoted by both Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.

President Lai Ching-te quoted the Bible in his National Day speech. The images of "salt of the earth," "light of the world" and "city on a hill" in the Gospel of Matthew position Taiwan as a responsible member of the changing global order, emphasizing democracy and defense as the "salt" that protects peace, technological innovation and industrial upgrading as the "light" that shines on the world, and linking people's well-being and institutional justice, elaborating on the country's vision and governance responsibilities.

Live broadcast of execution of death row inmates sparks opposition, Trump says he has not yet given the nod

The U.S. Department of War plans to execute death row inmate Hassan by firing squad and broadcast it live online, sparking opposition from Republican lawmakers, religious leaders and international observers. Vice President Vance expressed skepticism, and President Trump said he deserved the punishment but had not yet decided whether to allow the live broadcast. Catholic and evangelical leaders and the United Nations Human Rights Office also expressed opposition. Many Republican members of Congress pointed out that live broadcasting of executions turned civilization into entertainment and that the families of the victims should feel respected rather than performed in public. Experts point out that the U.S. military has not executed anyone by firing squad since 1945, nor has it broadcast live broadcasts of executions.

Wang Xinghuan, chairman of Taiwan's Foundation Progressive Party, pointed out that Taiwan's democracy has regressed in international comparisons in recent years, but the root cause is that the Blue and White parties used the majority in Congress to amend the Constitutional Procedural Law, boycott independent institutions, and pass controversial budgets, paralyzing the Constitutional Court. Legislative President Han Guoyu, as the gatekeeper of Congress, did not reflect on his own responsibilities and only accused others of undermining democracy at the National Day ceremony.
